Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Please don’t give me new fetishes

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 45 points 6 days ago (2 children)

do you know how hard it is to have a fetish for women being bigger and taller than you, when you are over 6 and a half feet tall?

😭

not as hard as he is right now.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago

Don't know and don't need to.

Thats as much a fantasy as finding a 9 foot tall woman to pat me on the head and say she is proud of me.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Yeah. Good luck finding a woman that is proud of you

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There is a lot to unpack in that sentence.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I am an entire warehouse, filled with pods, which themselves are full of issues, trauma, and baggage.

and I have had 2 therapists be completely dumbfounded and shocked at how well adjusted I am for all of it, lol.

its rarely a good thing when you shock a therapist.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago

We all are, to varying degrees. Some are just more aware of it than others.

But I didn't approach your last remark by the harsher side. All the images coming to mind as I read it were censorable out of being plain stupid and childish.

Therapists can easily suffer of professional bias. I've done therapy as well and it came to a point when I felt my therapists were overly concerned and trying to victimize me. It is their role to help us be aware of things that may be lacking or holding us back but their trainning can make them view things as so damaging that a person being to cope and manage trauma by themselves and lead a somewhat balanced life is an impossible concept.

Yeah dont tell me im six foot which is the average where i live but women are just so much shorter... for me it actually helps that im 100kg with a pretty muscular build because I only care abou the height and from my experience taller women tend to like wider men. Idk. Still its hard out here lol

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

That's a funny comment, but yeah - I'm the average height of men in my area, and like to be outmassed. I do like guys to be bigger than me in some dimension, and it hasn't ever been height (tall guys here all seem to date short women). I have been about the same height as the guys of all my 3 serious relationships (not unusual since that's the most common guy height) but have been the more slender of us always.

I wonder if we will ever evolve to the point where we can talk about women online without some mad lad needing to sexualise them.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

Oh noes! They're talking about s-e-x? Gross! We're not supposed to talk about that! That's naughty - we should be reading our bibles instead!

That’s awfully presumptuous of you, perhaps the comment was made by a woman who is sexualizing short men

[–] Outwit1294@lemmy.today 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

You are telling me that a woman practically naked from waist below is not sexual? You might be gay.

[–] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 13 points 6 days ago

I think the guy is showing more skin, so you might be heterosexual.

[–] GhostedIC@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

She would have to put pants on, at least.

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world -4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

So when you go to the beach, you are purving on every woman in a swimsuit or bikini?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz -2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'd be satisfied if women got to openly sexualize men and talk about it. That would level out the playing field and, hopefully, reduce the unnecessary sexualizing of trivial things.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

As a man, I'd be all about this
